Legends Trading vs TradeDay, round by round

The five things that decide whether a funded account works for you, in the order you live them.

Round 1TradeDay

Cost to get funded

The price after the discount code, plus any activation fee. Most traders fail at least once, so the cheaper account is also cheaper to try again.

How it is scored: Lower all-in price wins
Legends Trading$98
TradeDay$95

TradeDay costs $95 all-in, $3 less than Legends Trading at $98.

Round 2Legends Trading

Room to trade

The drawdown is the line that ends the account. A line that moves less, with more room under it, means a normal pullback does not blow the account.

How it is scored: Static beats end-of-day beats intraday, then more room wins
Legends Trading
End-of-Day
$2,200 of room
TradeDay
End-of-Day
$2,000 of room

Both use an end-of-day drawdown, which only moves when the trading day closes. Legends Trading lets you lose $2,200 before the account fails, $200 more than TradeDay.

Round 3TradeDay

Rules that can end it

These are the rules that fail accounts or hold back payouts even when you are in profit. Fewer tripwires, fewer ways to lose the account.

How it is scored: Fewer of these rules wins

TradeDay has 2 of these rules. Legends Trading adds a daily loss limit and a payout buffer.

Round 4Tie

Speed to first payout

Days from buying the account to asking for your first payout, if everything goes right.

How it is scored: Fewer days wins
Legends Trading8 days
TradeDay8 days

Both can pay you after 8 days at the earliest.

Round 5Legends Trading

Payday

The most one payout can put in your pocket: the payout cap times your share. A high split means little if the cap is low.

How it is scored: More money from one payout wins
Legends Trading$1,80090% split
TradeDay$1,20080% split

Legends Trading: up to $2,000 a payout at 90%, so $1,800 to you. TradeDay: up to $1,500 a payout at 80%, so $1,200 to you.
